PERFORMANCE MATERIALS
PERFORMANCE MATERIALS
Air Water Performance Chemical (AWPC)’s performance materials field has businesses deployed in quinones, polyester polyols, and chemical processing.
We are deepening relationships of trust with our customers by leveraging the respective strengths of each of our products. These include the quinone business, which deploys pharmaceutical and agrichemical intermediates and photosensitizers centered on naphthoquinone, our company being the only one in the world to be commercially producing and selling these products; our polyester business, which has been supported by the esterification technology and development capabilities that we have been nurturing over many years; and a chemical processing business, which has established an advanced production management and quality control system based on a wide range of liquid preparation and filling equipment and many years of experience in manufacturing photo processing chemicals.

Ester Products [MAXIMOL® series]
MAXIMOL®, an organic acid derivative, has the ability to improve the flame resistance and adhesiveness of rigid urethane foam, and is mainly used as a raw material for urethane used for heat insulation materials such as building materials and refrigerators, etc. We also have developed a new lineup of products for applications other than rigid urethane foam.
